Yes I can and frequently do. I'm near sighted and I used to read fine with my glasses off. I developed CSR, a form of wet macular degeneration in my right eye. I now need reading glasses, but just in my right eye. I bought a 4 pack of reading glasses for 10 bucks (+2.00) and I punch the left eye out which doesn't need reading correction. I need fairly large text because even with reading glasses for my right eye I still need a fairly large font. In this manner I get a decent composite image. Fortunately CSR doesn't hamper my distance vision too much and I get a decent composite image there too.

The 11" iPad pro makes this easy. I can have a comfortable size font and still have a lot of text on a single page. I was hating my voyage with so little text to a page. I find the iPad very comfortable for reading as long as I don't scorch my eyes with iPad brightness.

Fortunately CSR is a self correcting problem and Ive had it before and it just goes away on it's own. This time it's being a bit stubborn but it seems to be finally starting to improve. I bought a Kindle Oasis for outside back porch reading and I can get a decent amount of readable text on a page, not as good as an iPad, but good enough.
